Laura Gallant, Octopus Mountain - Golden Threads (2024) [Hi-Res]

Prior to this project Laura spent 3 years writing and touring the east coast with her first bands Superfluid and Lazeez. They created some unforgettable experiences for the Halifax based musicians, playing main stages for Folly Festival, Evolve Festival, and Halifax Jazz Festival. She had opportunities such as creating a full orchestral arrangement of Superfluids original music that was played with Halifax Music Co-ops 'Inventions' series, and got to open for Taureg music legend Mdou Moctar. It took a catalytic experience to step away and reevaluate what she wanted in the world of performing and writing, followed by a pandemic to lock her in for exploring and refining her writing and recording styles.

Music was ingrained in her and something that always provided inspiration and safety. Nourished by the world of tape decks playing The Fugees, Spice Girls and Led Zeppelin, these greats among others, steered her towards her own sound, found through a life of songwriting and growing up with a house full of musicians and music lovers.

Catch Laura playing solo with her guitar, or with her full band of some of Halifax's most refined musicians; Charles Urich, Ryan White and Phil Gallant. Expect to be pulled in by raw lyrics, epic guitar riffs, groovy bass lines, and entranced by a soulful progressive take on jazz, R&B and rock.
